Alt Summit

Salt Lake City in 36 Hours

Okay folks I’m freshly back from Alt Summit and Salt Lake City. I wanted to share with you some of the great places I visited in case you find yourself in that neck of the woods. It was my first time in Utah and I’d love to go back, especially in the fall. I think SLC would be amaaaazing in the fall. So without further ado, here’s the next stop in my 36 hours series: Salt Lake City in 36 hours and under $500!

HYATT HOUSE*

 

LA BARBA COFFEE  |  FINCA

DAY ONE

COFFEE
PUBLIK COFFEE
You’ve got to start the morning off on the right foot and this is the place to do it! $4

BREAKFAST
passion flour
Okay you guys, two words for you here about Passion Flour: VEGAN CROISSANTS. I think the sun has a special ray of light that shines down on this place all. the. time. $6


DO
natural history museum of utah
T his museum is a fun place to spend the day. This landmark building was built to look like a part of the base of the mountains. Great place to go with kids…or even with no kids. $13
LUNCH
sage’s cafe
I had a quick meal here and got the pesto pasta and a milkshake, both vegan of course. And it was delish! $15
PLAY
discovery gateway
If you’re traveling with kids, this is the place to be! $9.50

STAY
HYATT house salt lake city
This is one of Salt Lake City’s newest hotels and it was awesome. I stayed at a different hotel the first few nights while at Alt Summit and I had roommates. SO when I moved over to the Hyatt house it felt so luxurious to have my own suite. A kitchen, living room area and bathroom all to myself. Loved it. The bed was suuuper comfy and the TV swiveled around from facing the living room to facing the bed. Pure awesome. The customer service was top notch too. So helpful. They have this great list of equipment that you can “borrow” while there, from baby high chairs to curling irons. So cool right? Everything was brand spanking new and there was a fun lounge area to hang out in downstairs. Oh and free hot breakfast in the morning? Yes. Please. And can I just say, the price can’t be beat? I priced out the room at $100/night. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me!  $100

SHOP
alice lane
Alice Lane is definitely one of SLC’s best home decor shops. A definite must visit!

DINNER
finca
I had dinner at Finca during Alt as part of the Minted sponsored dinner. I was SO happy to be a part of it because Minted’s dinner was in high demand and spots filled up within 10 mins of being announced! The dinner theme was black and white and we were seated in the private dining room. Let me tell you it was GORGEOUS. The wall was covered in luscious black, floral wallpaper and Minted hung some of their art prints selection in modern gold frames. It was stunning. And to top it off Minted used some of their new home collection (napkins, table runners, etc) to outfit the tabletop. The menus and place cards (printed by Minted, of course) coordinated perfectly. No detail was left unfinished. It was a good night. Oh and the food, let me tell you, the food…was just as perfect as the decor. We had some tasty grub and plenty of it. I’ll definitely be going back! $60

DESSERT
Omar’s rawtopia
Omar’s is a raw restaurant if you didn’t pick that up from the name already 😉 They serve lunch and dinner BUT I really want to talk about the dessert. Because…you guys, raw vegan cheesecake. Yep, you read that correctly, cheeeeesecake. Hello. $8

 

PASSION FLOUR  |  BOHEM

 

capitol building*  |  sunset in slc

 

ZEST  |  PUBLIK COFFEE

 

DAY TWO
BREAKFAST
zest
I had brunch at Zest on Saturday and it was one of the best ways to start a weekend. Hands down. I had the savory chickpea pancakes and man, they were tasty. One of the friends I was with got the buckwheat pancakes and highly recommended those too. I’d love to go back for dinner sometime, because I hear they have some crazy good cocktails. $20

COFFEE
LA BARBA COFFEE
Another tasty local favorite for coffee shop. A friend told me that the locally-owned coffee shops in Salt Lake are so good that Starbucks keeps open up shops and then closing them back down again. Pretty awesome, right? Shop local! $4
DO
TEMPLE SQUARE
Iconic. Stately. Beautiful. Just yes.

LUNCH
budS
Buds is 100% plant based. They have super fun things on the menu like BBQ jackfruit. I mean, come on, you’ve gotta try jackfruit at least once in your life right? $10

PLAY
hogle zoo
Salt Lake City has a great zoo. So fun for the whole family. $15
SHOP
BOHEM
Hipsters paradise in Salt Lake City. This shop has all the modern goods that the inner artist in you, could ever want. Seriously inspiring and worth a peek!

DINNER
forage
I’ve heard you have to make reservations at this place at least 3 months in advance. Luckily when I searched for a spot the day of, they had one availability at like 8:45pm, but still. Tasty bites worth every penny! $90

DESSERT
cakewalk
You guys, you guys…this place has vegan Twinkies! I’m dying right now because I didn’t get to go to this place before heading home. But please, if you’re in SLC, go here and get a vegan twinkie (called a Dillo) and tell me how ‘mazing it is, mkay?  $5

I’m Speaking at Alt Summit

Reichel Broussard | Copy Cat Chic | I'm a speaker at Altitude Summit Winter 2016

I’m headed to Alt Summit this week! Are any of you going? I’d love to see you there! I’ve been invited to be a speaker and I’ll be on a fun panel with Miranda Anderson, Eva Jorgensen and Alison Faulkner and we’ll be talking about how to make money blogging. Yep, it’s going to be a good one 😉 I’m pretty excited.
And I wanted to give you guys a HUGE (belated) THANK YOU for voting for me in the Hayneedle contest awhile back. You guys made it all possible. I don’t think I ever announced it, but I was the winner! Which means that Hayneedle is paying for my airfare and hotel. That’s basically the only way I could have made it this year, so thank you again for all of you who voted. You are amazing and I’m humbled by all of your support. Love you guys!
The next week or so will be a little bit of a detour from our usual posts, as I’ll probably be posting more about the event and about Salt Lake City (I’m hoping to do a quick travel post too!). But I’ll be sure to keep the usual posts going as well.
Packing for Alt has been on my mind lately, so I figured I’d share with you what I’m planning on bringing and wearing next week. I’ve always admired my friend Jessica’s packing lists, so I figured I’d share one of my own for Alt Summit 😉

As you can see a huge portion of my packing list is from Rent the Runway. They’re a lifesaver for someone like me, who likes to wear the latest styles when I dress up, but doesn’t want to pay full price if I’m just going to wear it once 😉 If you haven’t tried them out yet, you really, really should. I’ve been using them for years. You can get $20 credit (and so will I) if you sign up using this link. This post isn’t sponsored by RtR by the way, although I was able to rent the items above with free credit (happy dance)!

Alt Summit San Francisco

Altitude Summit San Francisco
I’m headed to Alt Summit SF today and tomorrow! Tonight it’s dinner with one of my favorite brands, Joss and Main.
And if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you’ve already seen this sneak peek at my new business cards. I used Moo‘s new luxe option. Don’t you just love the black and white striped edge? So me. 
My bags are almost packed! It’s extra hard trying to be fashionable with a prego pooch. I did my best 😉
Joss & Main Dinner
We’re supposed to be wearing purple, but I’ve never been a big fan. I actually don’t have a single thing that’s purple if you can believe it or not. So I figured fuchsia was close enough?
necklace $10 | shoes $39 | dress (linus zig zag dress) $48
Daytime at Alt – Mama’s gots ta be comfy. I got these flats for my birthday last year and I love ’em. And the maxi dress is so forgiving and stretchy, it’s the perfect option for maternity wear even though it’s technically not.
dress $30 | belt $5 | cardigan (similar) $46 | tote $16 | shoes $65
The Pinterest Alice in Pinterland Party
I was going for the caterpillar from the Disney version. What do you think? I’m renting my fabulous dress from Rent the Runway. It has an elastic waistline, thank you very much 😉
cigarette holder | monocle $4.50 | belt $5
shoes $39 | dress (On Cruise Control Maxi) $85

Ahh, the good stuff. All the necessities for during the conference. Have you guys heard of Swell bottles? They’re my new fave (not getting paid for saying that, I promise). They keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for a whole DAY. Awesome! Only thing missing? A biz card case, still haven’t found one I love…
tote $16 | phone case $40 (or similar) $8 | extra battery iphone case $35
swell bottle $35 | wristlet $40 |  weekender bag $70
notebook $10 | pen $14
Follow me on Instagram or Twitter for Alt Summit updates and pics! Hope to see you there!
